- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Allercombe
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle bath resealing in Allercombe
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Allercombe: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When to call us in Allercombe
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
